Against her will, CJ Waters has been moved to a small town in western Kansas. Her alcoholic mother has recently died, and the authorities tracked down her biological father. She now lives in one of the last places she would ever want to live, Johnston, Kansas. She's counting the days to get out of the 'infected boil of a town' and back into the real world. She can't seem to fit in. They hate her hair. They hate her clothes. They hate her pierces and tattoos. They've even thrown her in jail for trying to protect herself. She can't find one redeeming thing about the town, except for... PK Ochsner, the son of a local preacher. A total dork. Not the kind of person she's ever been interested in before, ever. But she just can't seem to get him off of her mind. Ben Ochsner goes by the nickname PK because he's a preacher's kid. He has lived his entire life in Johnston and is setup for a fabulous Senior year. A brand new girlfriend, a close and loving family, and two of the best friends a guy could ask for. He has everything, except for... CJ Waters, the new girl in town. He finds himself spending more and more time with her. His over-protective mother has warned him against having anything to do with 'that evil woman.' His friends keep warning to stay from away from her, she's nothing but trouble. His girlfriend is jealous of any contact he has with her. But there's just something about her that keeps attracting him.
